Dear all,

Please read this latest advice from the Diocesan newsletter, The Journal, sent out yesterday: 

'Following the Prime Minister's announcement on Wednesday, December 8, the wearing of face coverings is again mandatory in places of worship, plus in other named public spaces, including village halls and community centres, and our church halls.

The latest advice from the Church of England, together with a statement from the Rt Revd Sarah Mullally, Bishop of London, on our second Christmas in this pandemic, can be found at www.churchofengland.org/coronavirus.

You will see from the guidance that there is a "reasonable excuse" exemption which also allows people to remove a face covering whilst singing. This means that those, including choirs and music groups, who are leading worship can continue to remove face coverings whilst doing so. However, at this time of year, as we welcome our wider communities to our Christmas services, we would suggest that.... continued congregational use of face coverings whilst singing is encouraged.'

The services in the benefice for December are included below.

On Sunday 26th December there will be a service of Holy Communion for the benefice at All Saints Hunmanby at 11.00am.

My day off this coming week will be Saturday 18th.

NB At All Saints Hunmanby the zone on the south aisle has alternate pews for those who wish to have more space.

FUNERAL OF THE REVD TED DRAYTON

Thursday 16th December 10.20am at Woodlands Crematorium followed by a Thanksgiving Service at St. Columba's, Scarborough.  

Bishop Alison's Retirement

The Rt Revd Alison White will retire as Bishop of Hull at the end of February 2022. More details will be given in the new year, but there will be a  'Farewell Service' in Hull Minster on the afternoon of Saturday 5th February, and a more informal service of thanksgiving and prayer at Christ Church, Bridlington, on the afternoon of Sunday 6th February. COVID restrictions permitting, it's hoped that both services will be open for anyone to attend.

Many of those who have appreciated Bishop Alison's ministry amongst us may want to show their gratitude by contributing to a leaving gift. Donations for this can be made via cheques to the Diocesan Office payable to “York Diocesan Board of Finance Ltd” (please write "Gift - Bishop Alison" on the back of the cheque), or by bank transfer to: York Diocesan Board of Finance Ltd; Sort Code: 20-99-15; Account No: 30985759 with payment reference "Gift - Bishop Alison".
